Later Life will continue through Saturday April 14th only. The performance will run 80 minutes (including intermission).

Renowned playwright A.R. Gurney graces the Keen stage for a third time, having already been represented by acclaimed revivals of The Dining Room (2007-'08 season) and The Old Boy (2012-'13 season).

In Later Life, a middle-aged man and woman meet at a cocktail party and ponder beginning the relationship that eluded them 30 years ago. While the pair rediscover each other and themselves, a bevy of delightful guests rally behind them. With poignancy and laughs, this classic Gurney play reminds us of the infinite possibilities in life just waiting to be pursued. A romantic tale of missed connections and hope for new beginnings.

Mr. Gurney's play is another testament to the value of connection and the ties that bind, the theme of this season at Keen. Keen Company creates theater that provokes identification, reflection, and emotional connection. In intimate productions of plays and musicals, we tell wholehearted stories about people striving to do their best. Keen has been honored with eleven Drama Desk Nominations, two Drama Desk Awards, two Drama League Nominations, and two Obie Awards.

Later Life is the story of Austin, who has spent his entire life convinced that something terrible is bound to happen to him. One night at a part overlooking Boston harbor, he has the pleasure of rekindling a romance begun almost thirty years ago with Ruth. Now a multiple divorcee, Ruth's personal life is in such turmoil that mutual friends look to Austin as Ruth's last shot at normalcy. At the same time, these friends are hoping the wildly unpredictable Ruth will help loosen Austin from the grip of years of depression and lifelessness. Comically, and sometimes painfully, these two people rediscover each other and themselves while a bevy of free-spirited other guests rally behind them and remind them of the infinite possibilities that life holds, should one only choose to pursue them. Gurney's beloved play examines whether change is possible in mid-life. 25th anniversary production!
